Ineed with finding out the blank spaces

2 times what plus 1 equals five? we know it must be a small number, so we go with 2. in this case:
2(2)+1 does equal five.
the triangle= 2
so we have next,
2 + a square which equals 1.
we subtract the 2 from both sides
and find out that the square = -1
next, we have
2-2(-1)
the negatives cancel out since it is multiplication and we get:
2+2
the star =4
hope this helped!! xx

Hey, can you post the problem?
